Survey of student attitudes

Abstract

Since the first world conference on medical education, this subject has become increasingly studied by innumerable reports and surveys of student opinion. The Report of the Royal Commission on Medical Education has given the subject further impetus and is likely to result in far reaching changes. Of these a scope for more active participation by the student is among the most significant. For students to assume a responsible and active role in Medical Education, the "Chestpiece" has considered it very important to survey the opinions of students. This survey is an attempt to assess the more important characteristics of the average medical student, and to make an evaluation of the common teaching methods.
